Ingredients✨✨✨

1 pound ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced

3 large carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced

4 cups chicken or beef broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Extra shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)

Instructions✨✨✨

1. Brown the Ground Beef:

   In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Crockpot:

   Transfer the browned beef mixture to a crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery.

3. Add Broth and Seasonings:

   Pour in the chicken or beef broth. Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

4. Cook on Low:

   Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.

5. Add Cream and Cheese:

Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well. Continue to cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

Serve✨✨✨

Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
